Assisi Community where Sr. Ortiz lived for a decade, describes Sr. Ortiz screams in the night. (link to vid) Ortiz , a speaker in Buffalo at the 24^th annual Rev. Joseph Bissonette Latin American dinner, said there are more than a half-million survivors of torture living in the US; more than 150 governments, led now by the US, engage in torture: /Many of our fellow Americans wear a blindfold hiding from the truth of what our government is doing. But each of you has eyes to see, ears to hear, and a voice to oppose this crime against humanity/.
